In short: 4th Year in a row and I will keep coming back!In full: I really enjoy this race. Course is good, Organisation is good and the service at the start is what makes it stand out from other events. I will keep coming back as it's a great race.Date of review: November 10, 2014

In short: Worth a look but need to sort out the road crossing!!In full: This is the second time I have done this race. I prefer the new format of 2 laps and the flat course makes for a perfect PB potential. The main issue I have is that whilst it is a very quiet route with virtually no traffic, there is one point when you have to cross a road for lorry's to come out of their depot. I was lucky I missed this but did see a couple of runners having to stop and wait to cross. This has a massive impact on time and a runner can not only loose 20-30 seconds but also momentum/rhythm. Other than that it was well organised, well marshalled and worth the entry.Date of review: September 29, 2014

In short: TOUGH BUT REWARDING!In full: First time running this and I found out after about 10 miles that I wasn't fit enough!!! The course is challenging with the hills and the mud made it very hard work on the legs. IT's organized very well and the marshalling was very good. During the last couple of miles I said to myself never again...........But I think I will be back next year!!!Date of review: January 20, 2014

In short: Challenging course - Great medalIn full: The course is fairly challenging and has some hilly sections in the first 5k. After that it's pretty flat. Organisation was very good and the marshalling top notch. Lovely medal and a little goody bag which you don't see too often. Will be back next year.Date of review: October 21, 2013

In short: Good PB potentialIn full: Only a small field (120approx) but could accomodate more and would be nice if it became more popular. Organisation was good and there was plenty of toilets at the start plus the added bonus of being able to warm up on the athletics track. Course is pretty fast with only a could of slight inclines. Finish on the track is also nice. The medal was very nice, not always a given that you get one with these races. I will be back next year for sure.Date of review: August 27, 2013

In short: Great race, just turn up earlier!!In full: I enjoy this half as firstly it's my local race and secondly it's flat so makes it easier!! There is a good mix of runners and the course route allows spectators the chance to see thier runner 4 times whilst staying in the same place. Plenty of water stations as well. My only gripe would be towards the runners and not the organizers. I appreciate that only one road leading into the car park means it takes a while to get in, though there is not much the organizers can do about that. The problem is runners turning up late which meant the race was delayed by 15 mins. This may not sound a lot but it meant I was standing around in the cold longer than I should have waiting for the race to start. If the race starts at 10am then get there for 9am not 9.45am!!Date of review: June 10, 2013

In short: Very enjoyable raceIn full: Really enjoyed this despite being a tough course. I don't know what was harder, running up such steep hills or trying to stay on your feet coming down them!!! I did fall and cut my knee open about half way but got to finish. Well done to the St Johns Ambulance that cleaned me and others up! Marshalls were good and supportive. Would love it if this race was a regular one!!!!Date of review: January 28, 2013

In short: Good for a PBIn full: Could possibly have been signposted better as it was tucked away a bit. Only a small race but maybe a couple more portaloos would have been better. That said the course is nice and flat and is great PB potential. Not a great race but one I would consider doing again.Date of review: October 2, 2012
